What is Global Classmates?

Where We Work

We value bringing diverse perspectives to the Global Classmates program and providing opportunities to those students who would normally not have international exposure. Shown above are the 683 high schools in the United States and Japan that have participated in Global Classmates so far. With the goal of making Global Classmates an inclusive program that provides opportunities to underrepresented and underprivileged communities, we strive to reflect the diversity of both countries through our school selection. We are proud to work with schools across the US and Japan and welcome applications from new schools as well as past participants!

KAC is proud to provide high-impact programming. Students’ reported learning outcomes indicate their enhanced motivation to study their target language, intercultural communicative competence and increased appreciation for and understanding of the partner country’s culture as well as their own culture.
